It seems like you are brain is confusing past danger with present safety.
Use this

2. Ground: Look around and name 3 things you see remind yourself you’re safe now.
3. Challenge: Ask, “What’s the proof I’m in danger?”
4. Breathe slow: 4 seconds in, 6 out — calm your body so the mind follows.
5. Stay exposed: Keep joining groups; each safe experience retrains your brain.

Hi,
Experiencing recurring thoughts about being hurt or judged by others due to past events can be very distressing and exhausting. To manage these intrusive memories, itâs helpful to practice mindfulness techniques that help you stay grounded in the present moment, reducing the power of negative thoughts. Cognitive-behavioral strategies, such as challenging and reframing negative beliefs, can also be effective; for example, reminding yourself that everyone makes mistakes and that the past does not define your current worth. Building self-compassion and focusing on your strengths can boost your confidence and lessen the impact of painful memories. Additionally, engaging in activities that promote relaxation and positive social interactions can help improve your emotional resilience. If these thoughts persist and significantly interfere with your daily life, consider seeking support from a mental health professional who can provide tailored guidance and coping strategies. Remember, healing takes time, and being kind to yourself is an important step in overcoming these recurring concerns.

It sounds like you’re experiencing anxiety linked to past negative experiences, which is quite common. When these thoughts arise, remind yourself that the past event is over and that you are safe in the present moment. Try slow breathing or grounding techniques like focusing on what you can see or hear around you to calm your mind. Writing down these fears and challenging them with facts can also help reduce their power. If this continues to affect your peace of mind, a few sessions with a psychologist can teach you practical ways to manage and overcome these thoughts effectively.

Thank you for sharing what you’re experiencing. It sounds like the fear and worry about being hurt or judged based on a past event have been troubling you for some time. These recurring thoughts can indeed feel very distressing and exhausting.
It’s important to know that such thoughts often stem from unresolved emotional pain or anxiety, and with the right guidance, they can be managed effectively. Through counselling, we can work together to understand these fears, identify their triggers, and use strategies such as cognitive restructuring and relaxation techniques to help you feel more at ease in social situations.
Next Steps
I would encourage you to connect for a one-on-one session so that we can explore this further and create a personalized plan to help you manage these thoughts.

Hi... It suggests a post traumatic stress response. Probably, when that 'past bad event' occured, you were not able to respond appropriately or experienced a shock response. The fear and a sense of embarrassesment/insult got repressed deep in your subconscious mind and now when you are 'with group in society', that repressed issue is trying to get released in the form of this fear response- 'someone will hurt me'. There might be some roots in the childhood, where you experienced some form of abuse or dominace that got triggered by this incident. Treatment will involve a thorough understanding of your psyche and detailed probing of your past. It will get resolved when you understand and realize the exact cause and effect of such a stress response and make necessary changes in your environment or your behavior.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling using Psychoanalytic Approach is required.

Hi, I understand what you are going through and I truly acknowledge how difficult this must be for you.
What you are describing sounds like a form of anticipatory anxiety where your mind stays alert for possible threats even when you are not actually in danger. This is often linked to past negative or traumatic experiences.
Counselling sessions can truly help you. A therapist will support you in healing from past negative experiences and guide you in managing these recurring thoughts. I would encourage you to consult a psychologist.
